Once again about Scarves and How to wear them

Once I touched upon the issue of wearing scarves, but I believe that this piece of clothes, sometimes too unloved among men, really deserves your attention and if worn correctly, can become part and parcel of your style. “If worn correctly” means that there are several variants of wearing scarves and you are free to choose something for yourself.

There are several popular knots, which can not only add you more style, but also add you more warmth in winter.

Parisian Knot


The most sought-after knot is also one of the most universal. Here’s how to tie a scarf in a Parisian knot: Take the scarf in both hands and fold it over lengthwise; drape it around your neck; insert the loose ends through the loop hanging in front of you and pull them through. It looks really very stylish and together with the feeling of warmth adds your image more sense and feeling of style.




Once-around Knot

This knot will be the best variant for those cool days when you need a bit more comfort, but don’t want to wear too much on yourself. The point of this knot is casual warmth. To learn how to tie a scarf in a once-around knot, drape the scarf around your neck allowing one end to be longer than the other. Take the long end and bring it around your neck and let it fall over your chest. If you have a long neck, overlap the scarf in back just a bit so that most of your neck between the jacket and the base of your skull is covered.


Loose once-around Knot

When it comes to knowing how to tie a scarf in a loose once-around knot, the same rules apply as the regular once-around knot: Drape it loosely as though you haven’t the time to finish the job right. In this case the main purpose of the scarf is just “for the sake of its being there”, it is not used for warmth, perhaps for fashion more!



Twice around knot

This knot has something in common with a Parisian Knot and will also provide you with warmth in a winter day. Thus, if you like Parisian Knot, you may change something in your appearance with twice around knot. Here’s how to tie a scarf in a twice-around knot: Begin as you would with the once-around with both ends hanging in front of you, but make sure one is significantly longer than the other. Take the much longer end and circle it around your neck twice; do this without making the knot too tight. Getting the lengths of the ends to match up or come out relatively close will take a bit of practice, but a knot like this will make all the difference on a cold day.

There exists a mistaken belief that only gays wear scarves. This is nonsense, I’d say. If you wear a scarf, it means, that you have the feeling of style many men are deprived of, take care of your health and want to feel not only warm, but stylish and standing out from the herd of others. I wish you didn’t allow perpetuated stereotypes influence your life!
